The 1950s saw the company release such pivotal guitar models and designs as the humbucking pickup, the Les Paul, Flying V, Explorer, ES335 and many more, making it an incredibly fertile time for Gibson USA. Since then the instrument company moved its location from Kalamazoo, Michigan to Nashville, Tennessee where they continue to produce many of the leading and most-copied electric guitar and bass designs in history. Gibson GuitarsThe unforgettable tone of Gibson guitars carries across their entire line of guitar models. Gibson owes its sound to Seth Lover's invention of the humbucking pickup. These Patent Applied For (PAF) pickups were first released in the '50s, but today Gibson has many different varieties of this design. Their Burstbucker and '57 Classic pickup designs are highly sought after for the way they emulate Gibson's original PAF humbuckers. Ceramic humbuckers like Gibson's 490, 496, and 500 offer a more aggressive and modern tone. And the Tony Iommi signature and Dirty Fingers humbuckers are among their most powerful designs aimed at pushing your guitar amplifier into rich distortion.
